Hooper Avenue Roadwork Planned for June 11

County roadwork includes milling and paving

The Ocean County Roads Deparment announced the work of the major Toms River thorofare, which is also County Route 549, will begin around Monday, June 11. The project includes milling and paving of the roadway, along the area of Oak Avenue by the Ocean County Mall. Lane and road closures, as well as impact to the adjacent jughandles, may be part of the project, which aims to address the aging roadway's potholes and uneven pavement. Months prior, the county milled and repaved portions of the Silverton stretch of Hooper Avenue, addressing issues near Church and Silver Bay roads.
